Goldenrod Eggs

Today’s brunch is brought to you by the Oscars. Everything I made was Golden, Golden Biscuits (not the album by Three Dog Night, Golden Bisquits), Golden Sheet Pan Potatoes, Golden Drinks, and Goldenrod Eggs.

If you’ve never heard of Goldenrod Eggs (aka Eggs a la Goldenrod) let me give you some history. One of the first printed recipes of Goldenrod Eggs is in a Fannie Farmer cookbook from the late 1800’s. An easy to prepare recipe of Bechamel sauce and diced hard boiled eggs this recipe over time was popular fare at Easter brunches, using up hard boiled eggs from hunts.

For my family this recipe’s popularity only goes back about a year. This is one of the recipes I discovered while making new and fabulous brunches for my family during my heavy travel. I was unsure if this would be a hit with the girls. Oddly enough the pickiest eater in my family, Daughter Number Three, loved it. The Hubs, however, was not as big of a fan.

Goldenrod Eggs

Traditionally Goldenrod Eggs are served over toast points, but can be served over biscuits. As I had a Golden theme in mind it seemed that golden hued biscuits would be more fitting.

The Golden Drinks I served were just pineapple juice in glasses rimmed with gold sugar.

Golden Drink

I was surprised at the positive response my Golden themed brunch made with the family. The girls thought the drinks were fun, but they absolutely loved the food. With the reactions I got from my family for brunch I have no need to see how wins Best Picture tonight. It’s obvious that the award for Best Brunch goes to me. I would like to thank everyone who made it possible, and recommend this amazing brunch to you.
